Hi Henk,

Acked-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely at secretlab.ca>

Can you please repost with a blurb for the commit description and your
signed-off-by line?  The blub below makes sense in the context of this
mailing list thread, but it won't be very useful for someone looking
at the commit message in git.  Also, your patch is line-wrap damaged
(cut and paste into your mail client doesn't usually work) and has
inconsistent whitespace (run it through scripts/checkpatch.pl).

Jeff, after Henk provides his s-o-b line, do you want to pick it up,
or should I merge it through my mpc52xx powerpc tree (via benh).

Thanks,
g.
